Purple Veranda Poem by Isak Boyd

Purple Veranda



self induced on a purple veranda
gnawing at the unknown
pitiful sight
of a single isolated, island of a wound

the trees, even the grass
turn and snicker.
fear and puss seep out
as my house burns to the ground

every inch of it,

except this solitary veranda.
swaying in the calloused wind
swallowed by smoke,
i bury my head,
while the freedom I sought
turns to ashes at my feet.
